The Irish Sports Museum is bringing some massive events your way this May and June.
We'll have an incredible historic memoranilia display at Kit Con Éire in Cork along with 1000s of shirts for sale, our "Classic Kits" pop-up in Athy at The Duke and the annual Irish Football Programme Club Programme and Memorabilia Fair in Dublin - something for every vintage enthusiast, player and hipster alike.
We’ll be sharing more details, including full event timings, right here very soon. Keep a close eye on our socials so you don’t miss out! 👕✨
Sadly no footage in the NetflixRonaldinho Gaúcho documentary of his historic first appearance on Irish soil, as shortly after his transfer to FC Barcelona he played in a high profile friendly against Derry City Football Club at the Brandywell.
Many of the derry players wore their normal league shirts (with eircom league sleeve patches) in the first half then switched to their special embroidered shirts in the second half so they could swap after and still keep one shirt from the match.
The late, great John Hume (himself a local Candystripe supporter) was instrumental in organising the visit of what was arguably the highest profile club with the highest profile player, under the auspices of a Peace Friendly. ... See MoreSee Less
Superb to see all the well deserved respect and public admiration for one of the greatest Irish olympians of all time, Ronnie Delany, who passed away yesterday after a great career and life.
What better way to salute him than watching the last stretch of the 1500m Olympic Final in Australia when he kicked away to take home to Gold?
Tremendously commentated upon by Brendan O'Reilly, a brilliant Irish athlete who should have competed in Melbourne in 1956 (having qualified for the high jump but the IoC couldn't finance his participation), a personal friend, and the face and voice of Sports Stadium on RTE, who also is sadly no longer with us but is remembered with great fondness. ...

Before the flight home, before the press conferences, and before the most infamous exit in Irish sports history... there was this.
Roy Keane’s match-prepared shirt for Ireland vs. Cameroon at World Cup 2002. A haunting "what if" for every Irish football fan.
With the Saipan movie out now, it’s time to relive the drama. Would things have been different if Keano had walked out of the tunnel in this green jersey? 🏟️
Tag a mate who still talks about Saipan like it was yesterday. 🗣️
Last Saturday's superb performance by Munster rugby in Páirc Uí Chaoimh against Gloucester was almost a throwback to the famous "miracle match" 23 years ago, when the standard-bearing province at the time in Europe pulled off what was believed as impossible, toppling the then-Premiership leaders by 27 points in a tremendous 4-try performance at Thomond Park.
Many fans and all the players have tremendous memories of that game.
Pictured are Marcus Horan's Munster and Olivier Azam's Gloucester jerseys from the game. ... See MoreSee Less
